Imagine being a couple of comedians who make a parody of a rock band and end up becoming legends among rockers.
Brilliance
Totally agree.
Their amps do go to 11. And Nigel did invent the "Amp Capo." No wonder they're legends!
If there is anything beyond legendary status, these guys are it.
@@TheShoemakerb1
I wonder, was the folding wineglass ever perfected?
Gregg Bissonette is a legendary drummer. Glad he survived.
🤞
Is that who that is?
@patton303 The Spinal Tap drum stool was THE most dangerous place to be in rock & roll, unless, you were the keyboard player for the Grateful Dead.
@@kenairockband Yup. The dude himself.
The lifespan of a Spinal Tap drummer is comparable to a WW2 Bomber tailgunner.... actually, I think the tailgunner has more of a chance.
Oscar Wilde, the renowned metal head , once said- "To lose one drummer, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose 18 looks like carelessness.”
Nice
Don't worry, they'll find them eventually
So it was written, so it shall be. The Bonzo's own offspring isn't half bad either, it seems they are able to procreate🤔
To lose one drummer is a tragedy, to lose 18 is a statistic.
Oscar Wilde or Zakk Wylde?
It's one thing to create a funny movie about a fake band. But it's a whole other level to write an perform good songs to make that movie seem so real. Tap rules!
They are real! The loudest band EVER!
If you think that's impressive, look at the initial story of Porcupine Tree. You couldn't make that one up!
@@Gamefreak8112 Well, I know that Uriah Heep was the loudest touring band in the late 60s early 70s.
I was always impressed by their punctuality.
@@gdutfulkbhh7537ol, I watched the film last night,brilliant.
Hats off to the band that put Stonehendge on the map. Smell the Glove!
Cruel but fair...
"You should have seen the cover they wanted to do... it wasn't a glove believe me"
Intravenous de Milo.
What a line, delivered so non plussed 😂
Certainly no Shit Sandwiches here ❤❤❤
Love that crowd banner - “Glastonbury Welcomes Spaniel Tap”
😂😂😂
If that was an intentional reference to Best In Show it would make it one of the most impressive in jokes ever.
🤣
What exactly did you love about the banner ?
@@shroommcfanta2020 it was a fanboy nod to the actors who appeared in both Spinal Tap and Best in Show (a mockumentary about Dogs)
Nice to see they found the stage
Right? Haha
😅
🤣🤣🤣
And the winner of the comment section is ....McDingus! It made me laugh out loud thinking about that scene.
ROCK AND ROLL
"You're too young - and I'm too well-hung". Sheer bloody poetry.
'& you've still got your baby teeth,' 😳
Ew
It’s a parody of classic rock-era groupie songs.
His father was Welsh, mother Hungarian, that's why he's Wel-Hung.
Greg Bissonette sadly died later this day. Choked on drum sticks at a nearby Chinese restaurant.
I heard he choked on a chinese at a drumstick store...
@@hansgrueber8169 tragic
i heard he died in a freak gardening accident
I heard he choked on vomit, not his own
You can't dust for drum sticks
The world's most dangerous job is being the drummer for Spinal Tap.
haa haa haa true ! but i betcha it's a fun gig !
Greg needs his 80's mullet back for this gig!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣wondered if he survived
@@garyllyons I was thinking that, but I just wonder if his appearance is supposed to be funny in and of itself.
almost as dangerous as doing keyboards for the grateful dead, every one of those motherfuckers died
The fact that they all switch to bass guitars for Big Bottom is incredible.
it's so the song is ALL BASS - so it has a 'big bottom' musically as well
I'm still waiting for the unfinished masterpiece, lick my love pump in D minor
m black So am I!
It's a Mach piece really...
It is the saddest of all the keys. Makes grown men weep.
@@benjic80 Especially when expressed through simple lines, intertwining.
arent we all
Every single member deserves an Oscar, Emmy, Golden Globe and all the acting accolades aswell as Grammys and inducted into the Hall of Fame. The dedication to the craft of acting and being musicians is unreal. Imagine doing this originally for a movie just to become a legendary band in your own right. Three legends.
Just insane what they have accomplished!!! Go Tap!!!
Michael once said “the thing about Tap is we’re a pretend rock band on stage playing to ppl who pretend to be our fans. It’s a wonderful kabuki theatre of everyone being in on the joke and playing their part.”
Nothing pretend about the band. They are really playing.
I remember seeing those guys when their single "Listen to the flower people" changed a generation...
Dude, I was 8 when my aunt got "Smell the glove" and played me "Sex Farm". That changed my life more than any David Bowie album ever could.
@@trashmccann6225 LEGIT !!!
Gimme Some Money !!
@pixelatedparcel Yeah man, those were the early times which then led to the heavier times. I saw them in late ‘64 with an unknown Herman’s Hermits as the supporting act. So trippy, yeah.
PMSL!
The audience brought their own Stonehenge! Totally awesome
They write better tunes than 95% of actual rock bands
On a scale of 1 to 10 they actually go to 11....👍
Damn skippy!
They are an actual band!
@@Emanresuadeen Yes they are
@@Emanresuadeen I've been playing guitar for forty years. They are really playing. They are really keeping time. He is really singing. They are really a band.
'We put Stonehenge on the map'
Does he say that? That's truly a funny line.😂😅
Another stunning performance by the loudest band in Rock and Roll history! I got chills when they started into Stonehenge! Just sheer magic!
_"I think the problem may have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage, that was in danger of being crushed........By a dwarf."_
Best line of the 80's.
How great is that, people bringing their own mini-Stonehenge liths! Hilarious---
Yeah, and they came from my home planet.
-change the choreography. You know, so it doesn’t get trod upon.
@@McDuffin Fuck the napkin!
Can I ask a serious question? Are we doing Stonehenge tomorrow?
Props to whoever made the Spaniel Tap banner! Lolololol.....
My brother had never heard of Spinal Tap and one day he goes "I saw this live concert on TV the other day of this really weird rock band. They were a bunch of older guys but it was actually pretty cool." Turns out he was talking about Spinal Tap. Lol.
There's nothing fundamentally wrong about that statement. The only thing I would change is substitute "pretty" for "very".
The drummer plays as if it is his last gig
and it was his last one
If you're the drummer in Tap, it's always your last gig!
badum tsss
He could spontaneously combust any second.
Greg Bissonette. Amazing drummer.
I can't give this performance a thumbs up. The drummer lived through the entire song.
That’s actually not true. Gregg died in the penultimate song, but the sheer amount of rebound in his sticks at the time meant that his body kept on going till the end
Yeah but have you seen him since??
I rest my case.
@@gzz8551 He's with Ringo's All Star Band!.......or maybe his clone?
Give it time.
*_NOBODY_* escapes that drum stool.
😆 🤣 😂
Amazing these dudes can actually play.
Holy crap, that's Greg Bissonette on drums!
Wow, I just saw him on Rick Beato. Guess he survived.
Give it time.
Nobody escapes that drum stool.
Greg (AKA Skippy Scuffleton) is a monster, bringing the whole show up a notch or two! Thanks for mentioning his appearances on Rick Beato!
I'm still surprised about it
God bless old Gregg. He finally succumbed to the tap curse!
"My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo. I'd like to sink her with my flesh torpedo" will always be a standout lyric.
tonight im gonna rock you tonight
My loveguns loaded and she’s in my sights big game is waiting there inside her tights yeah
To play at that level and stay in character is an incredible feat. I feel bad for any band that had to follow big bottom
Just realised the lead singer of Spinal Tap is Michael McKean who played Chuck McGill in Better Call Saul.
And Lenny from Laverne and Shirley
And the bass player is the Radio guy from the Simpsons
These are only coincidental resemblances
And the lead player has had a finger removed since "The Princess Bride".
@@LouisEmery Thank you! haha
13:40 the mini stonehenges in the audience 😂 so awesome
What do you mean "mini"? They are on spec!
fuck the NAPKIN!!!!
@@dkechag1979that's what you wrote, 18 in. These are 18 in. That's what you wanted? LOL 😂😅
Must be hard to not only talk with a different accent all the time but to sing in that accent, play instruments, write rock songs and be comedians all the same time it’s something else
+Wizard of Aus,
I'm gonna have your channel taken down unless you answer 3 (very simple questions).
What is your name? What is your quest? What is the average airspeed of an unladen swallow?
Wizard of Aus They are probably better musicians than the Monkees and that was supposed to be a real band
@@jasonross6727 African or European?
@@philyates7670 He doesn't know that!
I would love to see a documentary about this band. I mean...those lyrics are priceless, and they look as if they've led quite the life.
But it would be a rockumentary..
I don't know... but This is Spinal Tap.
Yeah maybe some meathead will be interested...
I have éxcellent news for you!!
I once played a gig where 7 of us played bass on Big Bottom. A lot of fun. Love the Tap ever since I saw the movie in 1984 in the theaters.
Saw it in the theaters too in 1984 when I was in college. In some way it tweaked the trajectory of my life-made me feel good about being creative and funny.
Me too.
Bought their cassette too. Funny as hell.
How much fun is it to act like a real rock star just for a gig instead of being one 24/7
Big Bottom Girls: All three switch to basses. Add a special guest? Yep, he is on bass too. I love these guys!
Harry Shearer is a real good bass player.
The amount of talent all these guys have is phenomenal. As actors, comedians, and damn legit musicians! Michael McKean is without a doubt the actor with the greatest range probably of any to ever live.
The singer? He reminds me of the guy from Laverne and Shirley back in the seventies.
@@whitebeardskydaddy6756 He reminds me of the Saul's brother in Better Call Saul.
He reminds me of John Sykes
I totally agree with your comment on Michael McKean! I absolutely despised "Laverne & Shirley" back in the day but every time Lenny was on (I didn't even like Squiggy that much) , I just HAD to watch. Comedy genius .
And then he did a straight-up dramatic role on "Better Call Saul" and absoltely KILLED it! If only he and Bryan Cranston had somehow been able to do a scene together. That would have been Emmy Award heaven!
@@mryhdy6266 😂😂 that's funny!
Gregg Bissonette is so brave to drum for Spinal Tap
Best rock band in the history of comedy.
ericynot and these go to ELEVEN
Spinal Tap are the winners but I also love "Bad News" which were in the same spirit, by 3/4 of the Young Ones!
If you haven't seen it you're in for a ride - with a fantastic ending :D
rutles
Errrrr BAD NEWS
23:58 woah
The legendary Gregg Bissonette on the skins! Met him in the early 90s when he played with Gary Hoey. Nice and calm in person and a beast on the drums Glad he didn't self combust after the concert.
Everybody's talking about the the tv-brother of Saul. But all I see is half the cast of the Simpsons on the stage.
This is one of my favorite bands. Break like the wind stands up to any British metal album.
That Stonehenge intro always cracks me up. "A strange race of people... (dramatic pause) the druids"😂
And what would they say to us if we were here today!
The more it stays the same the less it changes ! Pure genius
None of this works if the lads can’t play, but the lads can really play! Every song has a great hook, a great groove, and can stand on it’s own. Too fun!
Better than many "Real" bands!
Boat Axe There a real band now
they always were a real band
A group of people who actually play their instruments at real gigs and have albums out. That sounds like a real band to me.
But not as good as Bad News.
@@swinetrek Hahah...it's a toss up...
So happy they played The Majesty of Rock ... one of my favorite songs of all time :)
That’s a GREAT song. Very much a late-80s, early-90s track. Reminds me a bit, with its anthemic optimism, of “People Have the Power,” by Patti Smith. And that guitar weave at the beginning and end of the song between David and Nigel is really wonderful. One of my favorite Spinal Tap songs. A straight up and straightforward rocker, that fits in nicely in this set.
@@benjaminpensiero8519 Spinal Tap has a lot of great songs! I know they are more actors than musicians... but they do have some music writing talents!
The guy with the huge misspelled sign completely gets it haha
These guys rock.
Jimmy Page used a violin bow on his Les Paul.
Nigel used the violin itself.
Cause of their drummer’s death was “choked on vomit”.
It wasn’t his own vomit.
Because obviously you can’t dust for vomit
@@Safestill 🤣🤣😂😂
Because choking on someone else’s vomit is PURE rock and roll don’t you know?
I don't know if anyone caught this, he was actually tuning the violin during the act, who ever thought of that is pure genius.
I love the fact they play musicians, but they can actually play. Brilliant
Obv harry shearer has all his Simpson talents too. Legends !
Can't believe this is nearly a decade old already.... :o
Lead Singer Chuck Magill from the law firm Hamlin, Hamlin, Magill and Lenny from Lavergne and Shirley... Good too see him rocking out - great actor / comedian.
"To lose one drummer is a tragedy, to lose eighteen is a statistic. "
~Joseph Stalin
To whoever that drummer is thank you for your service. We know that being the drummer for this band is one of the most dangerous jobs in human history
Greg Bissonnette, one of the great drummers ! When you want the drummers, drummer Greg is the man ! He has played with many bands including Ringo Starr's All Star Band !
@@Bruce15485 Thanks! I thought that was Greg. Or rather Skippy Scuffleton……..
@@Bruce15485 and David Lee Roth on his excellent Eat 'Em & Smile album.
I'm always particularly knocked out by this band's punctuality.
Legend has it that Nigel is chewing the same piece of gum from the rockumentary...
I love how these guys have aged rather realistically :P
I always thought that they were just a complete spoof and I am shocked to see that they are legit musicians.
Over 100 people heard an all bass classic turned up to 11.
Nigel - "Nothing but the best for Spinal Tap" as they enter a Taxi! LOL! love it
"the more it stays the same, the less it changes"
no deeper lyrics have ever been written
They have serious chops and the songs are really a bit too good for parody. They make me smile every time.
I have just one request, could you play a couple of slow numbers so that I can dance...?
*WORKING ON A SEX FAAAARM* ...
"All I remember, is the MASSIVE sustain.."
I was waiting for the Jazz Odyssey. Man, I would love to have caught them live.
😒👎
I so enjoyed that, more than any other band at Glastonbury . Pure entertainment. Forty minutes flew by! Great songs, great drummer and that hot backing singer.
The backing singer is Judith Owen aka Mrs Shearer.
@@DavidBromage What! Alan’s wife??
I've never been but would go just to see them
Stone Henge is a fucking masterpiece!!!!!
The fact that they stay in character and do the British accent during the whole show despite them all being Americans is brilliant
(After watching) That was AWESOME!
The guys must have been completely amazed at where they ended up , 25 years after making their silly lttle movie.
Would love to see another Final Farewell Tour of Spinal Tap (I was going to say when they're 80, but I looked it up, and Harry Shearer IS 80! Christopher Guest is 75 and Michael McKean is 76. )
Big Bottoms 4eva!
RIP Ric Parnell the 19th drummer gone to rock n roll heaven.
Damn that sucks
I didn’t know he had passed away
Just looked it up and he passed last year due to organ failure
"Urban folk. They're the best kind of folk" - Harry Shearer's wit is incredibly sharp.
I love that where ever they play the audience 'get it' and go along with the joke.
fucking moron.
go back to you moms basement, that's where you belong.
Not sure that was warranted. Don't think you understood what I meant.
4 basses for Big Bottoms and it still needed more bass! Crank it to 11!
Spinal Tap is the Certs of rock music ... they're two ... two ... two bands in one! They're a great rock band and they're a great comedy act together!
Who would've thought Chuck McGill can rock like this?
Especially with an electric guitar and no space blanket!
Much better then pop of today
I saw This is Spinal Tap the day it came out and 4 more times that week. I've been a disciple of Tap ever since. I love this band an these guys dearly. Brilliant in many realms.
"No one knows, who dey were, or, what dey were doin"...
Fucking Brilliant. ⛧️☠️🤘☠️⛧️
I can't believe the singer is the same guy from Better Call Saul!
he is also played Lenny from Laverne and Shirl
Let alone one of Lenny and squiggy From Laverne and Shirley
Don't forget Coneheads man
Dont forget his first album, Lenny and the Squigtones
I remember him in short circuit where he gets winded.
The Tap is proof of just how rediculously fun reality is!!!! Go Tap!!!!
A parody rock band that's better than alot of "real rock bands". And they've got the great Greg Bissonnette on drums! I love it.
Yeah, his playing was out of this world. Really brought great energy to the set!
I thought it was Greg! Great drummer with just the right sense of humour too!
Smell the glove is a legendary album, I always listen with the volume up to 11, it's one higher.
THE best rock band ever, and they never drop out of character.
Good to see that Greg Bisonette did not explode, can be dangerous for a drummer to play in this band.
These 3 are still so quick witted and great to see live!
You probably have heard they’re releasing a Spinal Tap sequel movie in 2024! It’s in pre-production now (May 2022).
Oh no, not more dead drummers..
I hope they set the parody knob to 11.
Just watched it again, what made me chuckle to the point I couldn't open my eyes was David's gf making drawings of each of their star signs superimposed on their faces.. crab face. I can imagine some gf's actually doing the star sign stuff on the band members.
"We're Spinal Tap from the UK... you must be the USA"
"You're a treat/but you're just four feet/and you still got your baby teeth..."
"My love gun's loaded and she's in my sights, big game is waiting there inside her tights, hey!" :D
Genius on so many levels.
That even their inflatable Stonehenge was messed up, made this so much more satisfying than it already was.
I noticed that too. On purpose? Hilarious. Never gets old.
Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Brian May, Nigel Tufnel. All God's of guitar, but only one had amps that went to 11
I just noticed that Greg has handwritten charts for all the songs on his third rack tom. that dude is such a pro.
Great stuff! what an absolutely gorgeous looking set Bissonette is using ! Harry rocking that Foghat style stache' (still!)
Since Marty Di Bergi's career didn't go anywhere, maybe he should do a follow up on these guys. It looks like they made it as the crowd is pretty big.
Love the Spaniel Tap Banner🤪🤪
They weren't really the same after Ronnie Pudding left the band. Now a civil servant in Namibia.
His musical career went nowhere in Africa. Tap was lucky to get Derek Smalls. He was a keeper.
Saw them live when they toured after the movie came out. They sounded fucking great and it was hilarious.
Chuck finally overcame his agoraphobia I see.
17:04 Nigel Tufnel deep in thought contemplating the meaning of what he just said. Amp goes to 11, brain goes to 3...
The fact that the guy that does mr burns, Smithers few other voices in the simpsons is on stage is absolutely mind blowin 😂
And the fact he can absolutely shred the bass is even better.
Harry Shearer !
And the guy from Short Circuit 2 and Better Call Saul. Totally surreal!
He was in Abbott and Costello too, when he was a kid
Spaniel Tap represent the majesty of rock
